this is intended. It was continued un-
der consideration, revised and amended
because Of the demand Of the people for
something Of the kind, and finally passed
by large majorities. The railroads OPP
posed the bill perhaps, as much because
they did not wish the legislature to die
tate their methods Of procedure, as from
any fear OF final loss to them. Con-
gressmen who are in the business Of
watching that no legislation detrimental
TO railroad interests be made, talked
against the bill and worked against it,
but when the final vote Of record was
taken, were upon the anti monopolistic
side. The hope of a return at the end of
their term necessitated the record of their

From Mandan to DeaIlWoOd.

Rapid City Journal: With the exception
of the Northwestern, which has one ter
minus of it's railroad system at Rapid City,
there is only one other railroad company
in the west in a position to put a line into
the Black Hills without encountering COM
paratively insurmountable difficulties. This
is the Northern Pacific. Lyman N. Cory,
of the land department of that company,
arrived in Deadwood on Monday from
Mandan, and is avowedly on a trip of in
spection, looking up the resources of the
Hills to see what Inducements, if any, are
held out to this company to build line
from Mandan to tap this section. Nothing
positive is given out as to what Cory's i'm
pressions are, though the Deadwood
Pioneer claims that he considers the pro-
ject very feasible: That paper speaks of
immense beds of coal discovered on the
Little Missouri by Cory, and points out the
other inducements to the Northern Pacific
company to build to the Hills.

The introduction of bill in congress
to compel railroad companies to heat
their cars by. steam and light them by
gas or electricity has provoked a great
deal Of public comment. The objection
is raised to steam heating that in case of
a collision and the breaking of steam
pipes, the inevitable result would be
death by scalding instead of burning.
This is not formidable objection, as the
tubes conveying the steam would not be
likely to break in many places in a car,
the steam could not ignite the cars or
contents, and the source OF, it would not
likely continue active long after disas-
ter. The cars on the elevated railroads
of New York city are heated by steam
from the engine, as are also those on
some lines Of ordinary railroads in Con-
neoticut, and the method is very satisfac-
tory. President Depew, of the New York
Central, objects to the system as imprac-
ticable, and the New York Times takes
issue with him, basing it's statements
upon the positive assertions of the manu-
facturers Of the system in use by the ele-
waited roads, who also invite investigation
OF it's workings. ...,-

Important to Farmers.

After comforting with, and by the request
of many of those engaged in agricultural
pursuits in this section of the territory, the
undersigned takes this method of announce
ing that mass meeting of farmers will be
held at the court house, in the city of Bis
marck, D. T., Wednesday. Feb. End, at
o'clock p. nj. The object of the meeting is
to consider measures of vital Importance
now before the Seventeenth Legislative
Assembly, to encourage desirable leglsla-
ton, to meet and form the acquaintance of
President LOucks and other members of the
Farmers Alliance, also the members of
both branches of the legislative assembly,
to "shake" with the retiring and incoming
governors, Pierce and Church. AS the
work contemplated cannot be properly per-
formed at one meeting. we hope representa-
tives from Kidder, Emmons, cLean, Nor
ton. Stark and other counties west will
come expecting to remain over day or

Doesn't Yet Satisfy Sparks.

When Col. William Thompson made final
proof upon his timber culture claim, Aug
ust Both, the TRIBUNE took occasion to de-
tail the great value of the property and the
special palms, even beyond the require
ments of the law, that Mr.. Thompson had
taken to insure thrifty trees, and how re-
markably successful he had been. A letter
was recently received from the general
land office, concerning the proof, the fol-
lowing extract from which will explain it.
self:
"The proof shows that the trees growing
upon the said tract are the proper kinds,
at present in thrifty condition and the re-
quired number per acre, but their average
height is only ten feet, and diameter two
and a half inches.
The proof is rejected and the final Ger
tifcate held for cancellation, subject to ap-
peal within sixty days, because, in my
Judgment, the trees have not attained such
a size as to render it reasonably certain
that their growth is permanent and that
they will attain maturity without further
cultivation.
The ORIGINAL entry will be allowed to
stand, subject to good and sufficient proof
of compliance with the law"

A WONDERFUL THING happened at Nj

Two little girls, sisters, we're sliding on a

years old, leaped in after her, and both
we're swept along through sewer one
quarter Of a mile long, through which the
creek runs under the village and is dis
charged over precipice near the Whirl-
pool rapids. Men secured by ropes
leaped into the torrent at the mouth of
the sewer and caught both girls, who had
come through the sewer in barely one
minute. Both were apparently lifeless
when taken out, but we're resuscitated.
Some of the men who were in the rescu-
ing party ran through the village to the
lower end of the sewer faster than the
water, or at rate exceeding fifteen miles
an hour,

IT is unfortunate that the St. Paul
Globe, with it's large Dakota circulation,
should have lately printed so many sense
less specials from Washington concern
ing Dakota matters. Very little depend
ence is now put upon the rep orts of it's
pecial service by the ordinary reader.
The current criticism that such dis
patches are written in the Globes back
Office has been given wide credence. The
Globe is characterized by enterprise and
ability of no secondary order, but the
people of Dakota have no use for it's gos-
sipy Washington specials. There is fear
among many of the Globes friends that
this feeling is likely to extend itself to
other matter in it's columns.

A COUNCIL bill, introduced Monday
by Mr.. Hughes, for doing away with the
confusion Of titles and terms of Office
Of managers of the various pub
lie institutions Of the territory, also
proposes matter of reform which is IF
interest to the taxpayer. The bill, in linn
iting the meetings Of the boards and the
pay of members, provides for an annual
saving Of $4,000, as compared with the
present lack Of limitation, whereby some
of the boards have been permitted to
charge for almost continuous sessions,
and most extravagant allowances have
been made for unnecessary travelling.
The bill will commend itself as wise
and needed measure.

ONE Indian band of Wisconsin has
been led into regular and hard labor by
the great incentive to labor among their
white neutrality-suspicious.. The
Chippewas of Lac Court dOreille reser-
vation own a large body of good pine
timber, and have been in the logging bus
mess for several years. This season they
will bank about 40,0OO,OO0 feet of logs
all the work, including superintendent,
except mule driving, being done by In
dians. Had they been shut in by a great
reservation, separated from white labor,
and fed by the government, they would
never have been successful loggers.

The New York Evening Post has

The New York Evening Post has a
very opportune remark of it's own to make
upon the universal topic of the labor
problem: "Every human being who is
not born to fortune has labor prob
lem of his own to solve, and the time will
probably never come when a very large
number of men will not keep trying to
make somebody else solve it for them.
The greatest need of our age seems to be
the buckling down of each man to his
own labor problem. Every man should
try to help his neighbor to bear his bur-
dens, but every neighbor should refrain
from trying to unload on him."

Change of Time,

A new time schedule has been made out
for the James River Valley road, and went
into effect at p. m,, Wednesday, Jan. 26
The jamestown and Oakes express, which
now arrives at Jamestown at 11:4O p. NJ,
will reach jamestown at 7:40 a. M, and de-
part at $50 p. M. instead of 1:2O a. M as
heretofore. The arrival of the Jamestown
and LaMoure accommodation has been
changed to 7:50 p. M, and the departure to
8;SO a. m. Wednesdays and Saturdays only.
These express trains will connect at James
town with the daily trains through to Bis
marck. Ali trains will run through to
Oakes. The greatest advantage that will
result from this new arrangement will be
in mail facilities; the mail car and agent
will be transferred from the accommoda.
ton to the express trains and will run
through to Oakes, while heretofore the run
has been only to LaMOure. Evening mail
from Bismarck will reach Yankton and all
intervening points on the next day, and
morning mail from there will be due here
on the noon of the following day.

ERICSSON, the inventor and builder of
the "Monitor," which saved the Union
from very serious disaster in Hampton
Roads, has now, he claims, made the
question of coast defense simple one.
His new invention is submarine gun
boat "a vessel which is mostly submerged
like the Monitor, and which carries a
large gun which is wholly submerged and
fires with accuracy and destructive force
at a distance of nine hundred feet. Boats
of this class can be built for 100000
each, and require no extraordinary plants
for their construction. But his hardest
work is yet to come-the getting the ma
val authorities and congress to give his
destroyer fair test and use if it is
what he claims. :.

ONE of the pleasantest episodes of the
session was the recess taken by the house
Monday when Judge Church, the popu-
lar incoming governor. entered the hall.
And, indeed, there is no man more capable
of making an episode pleasant than the
popular and entertaining democratic gov
ernor. This, of course, has been said and
resaid of gentlemen high in political cir
cles, and perhaps of Governor Pierce more
than of any gentleman within the limits
of the territory, and be it said in justice to
both Pierce and Church, the compliment
goes to them without the detracting insip-
idity of flattery.

THERE was talk Of war in the United
States senate the other day when that
body had under consideration bill
which authorizes the president to close
the ports of the United States against
Canadian fish. It came from the COM
m1ttee on foreign affairs and was inter
preted by the northeastern senators as a
retaliatory and belligerent measure. Mr..
Fry, of Maine, in supporting the bill,
cited instances of abuse Of American fish
ernen by Canadian authorities and de-
clared of one case that the annals of the
world do not furnish another Of equal
brutality and inhumanity. Mr.. Hoar, of
Massachusetts, construed the Canadian
offenses as intended to force us to modify
our tariff policy, and late Canadian
statute, approved by the British govern
ment, he regarded as a aagrant act of
hostility. Mr.. Ingalls,, of Kansas, wanted
to know whether the pending bill meant
war or more negotiation temper ap-
pearing to be warike-and was answered
to his satisfaction by Frye. Edmunds
and Hoar, however, we're of opinion. that
the proposed exclusion of Canadian fish
would not lead to war; and that war
could only result from the Canadian au-
thorities repeating outrages upon our
fishermen. Finally the bill passed with
only one negative vote-that being cast
by Mr.. Riddleberger, of Virginia, who
declares that even retaliation is too
much like a treaty for him; he wants no
treaty with Great Britain. If the house
agrees to the bill, President Cleveland d
will have it in his power to about spoil
the Canadian fishing interest, for it's chief
dependence is on United States markets.
But he will not possess in that an extra
ordinary power. The executive heads of
most of the maratime nations have al
ways the power of prohibiting imports, in
part or in whole, from any country.

PROF. BLAKE, of Kansas, who ''calcu-
lates the coming weather through astro-
nomical mathematics" and who has quite
accurately indicated the weather hereto
fore, writes as follows in his paper, "The
Future" for this month: "January, 1887,
wiuproduce continuation of the cold
weather started in December, with sue
cession of storms from beginning to end
of the month. It twill probably average
as cold as last January did, though it
will not average quite as cold as the last
three-quarters of last January. Some of
the storms will be very severe, with
winds that will cause extensive railroad
blockades, which in the far north will
last for weeks. It is not best for people
to start on long journeys IN the far north
after January 10th, unless the necessity
be urgent. Some of the more severe
storms will carry frost and snow to the
gull, though not as severely as last Jan
uary. Butsbetween the storms there will
be considerable amount of pleasant,
cold winter weather, making it an "old
fashioned winter While there will be
no "January thaw," yet there will be sey-
eral fluctuations, during which spurts of
4 rain may reach as far north as latitude
40; but these spurts will not amount to a
thaw, as it will be stormy most of the
time during the last quarter, and in most
of the north, west, and northwest, the
precipitation will be snow. 1t will be a
hard month for cattle on the western
ranges"
